What the Standards Expect
Separated & Vented
Battery spaces must be separated from living areas and vented to outside air so any gases, smoke, or heat can't collect inside.
Protected Enclosures
Enclosures should be mechanically protected, sealed where they penetrate panel and secured so the battery can't move.
Protected Cables
Cables must be protected from abrasion, supported and glanded/grommeted at entry points.
Overcurrent Protection
Overcurrent protection near the battery and an accessible DC isolator with clear labels.
Environment Rated
Components must be suitably rated for the environment (IP/weather, temperature, vibration).
